Description: "The Civil War writings of G. Campbell Brown - cousin, stepson, and staff officer of famed Confederate General Richard S. Ewell - have been long recognized by scholars as a trove of insight into the high command of Robert E. Lee's army. Brown's memoir, letters, diaries, and memoranda provide a comprehensive account of the major campaigns in the north Virginia theater. Terry L. Jones has performed an invaluable service by gathering these widely scattered but oft-cited primary sources into a deftly edited volume."--BOOK JACKET.
